I want to let you know that my book Shaping the Wild will be published on 27th April. It is already available for pre-order at all major booksellers including Amazon. But why not order a copy from your local independent bookshop?

There will be an online launch event on the evening of Tuesday 2nd May. If you would like to attend I would be delighted to see you there. All you need to do is email my publisher, Calon Books, at Maria.vassilopoulos@press.wales.ac.uk and they will send you an invitation with a link to use on the night. The book will be available to order for a discount price at the event.

For those of you living in Wales there will be two live launch events: The first will be in Machynlleth at the Owain Glyndwr Institue on the evening of Wednesday 10th May at 6.30 for 7.00 hosted by Penrallt Bookshop and the second in Bala at Canolfan Plase on the evening of Friday 19th May at 7.30 hosted by Awen Meirion bookshop. The events are free but because space is limited it would be advisable to obtain tickets from the respective bookshops. Copies of the book will be available for purchase on the night and i will be on hand to sign copies.

I very much look forward to your company.

David
